Benefits of technology

[0012]The Elevated Habitable Module (or elevated living space assembly) is an enclosed living space that folds to a very small size for transporting. It is designed to be very easily transported and erected by utilizing a light weight design that unfolds easily and is uncomplicated to assemble. It is secure from ground animals and people by elevating the living platform off of ground level. It incorporates important basic living features, such as portable power which is often not initially available on site in remote locations, and a method of collecting rain water along with filtration so it can be effectively used for drinking or sanitation purposes. It incorporates supporting structure suitable for a variety of places, including flat surfaces or rugged terrain.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]When the Elevated Habitable Module (EHM) is collapsed it can be transported from one place to another easily because it is designed with very light and strong materials, such as aluminum, fiberglass, or composites. It is designed to shelter people and equipment to conduct surveillance, observation, monitoring, research, working as a command or control post, laboratory, shelter, etc. It produces electric energy through solar cells, a wind turbine, or both, and collects rain water for storage and use. The interior is isolated from the ground environment at a floor height of up 10 feet (3.48 m). It can be transported in light duty vehicles such as a pickup truck, van, or a trailer.

[0038]In one embodiment, when completely collapsed / folded up for transporting, it measures approximately 10 feet long by 3 feet in diameter. When it is fully deployed (i.e. open) it has a total height of 22 feet with an enclosed living area of approximately 180-185 square feet. Its typical overall weigh...

Abstract

The Elevated Habitable Module is primarily an enclosed living space that folds to a very small size and deploys to a tall and large elevated living quarters. It is designed to be readily transported and erected by utilizing a light weight design that unfolds easily and is uncomplicated to assemble. The floor is secure from ground animals and people by elevating it off of ground level. The design also ensures important basic living features, such as electricity which is often not initially available on site in remote locations, and a method of collecting rain water along with filtration so it can be used for drinking or sanitation purposes. The supporting structure is suitable for a variety of places, including flat surfaces or rugged terrain.
